|
Take the shells that you've collected |
|
Sow them with your favorite silver thread |
|
Now you jingle, now you rattle with every step |
|
Skeletons upon the stairway |
|
Showing up the teeth inside their heads |
|
Is it you or are they laughing at what you said? |
|
And when the day came, |
|
You had the same name, |
|
You let your town down |
|
Town down |
|
Way down |
|
And when the day came, |
|
You had the same name |
|
You let your town down |
|
Town down |
|
Way down |
|
In the dark and down the hillside |
|
Run until you cannot catch your breath |
|
Get the band to play a love song...at your request |
|
Smell the cinnamon and chocolates |
|
Marigolds yellow, pink and red |
|
On the ground you spread a blanket to be your bed |
|
And when the day came, |
|
You had the same name |
|
You let your town down |
|
Town down |
|
Way down |
|
And when the day came, |
|
You had the same name |
|
You let your town down |
|
Town down |
|
Way down |
|
And when you...when you, get on your new shoes |
|
You turn your town down, way down |
